Each Saturday will focus on a different plant as follows: bamboo, orchid, plum blossom and chrysanthemum. For registration information, click here.

In Pages from the Neon Bible, Mason Saltarrelli draws inspiration from religious iconography and focuses on the concept of martyrdom. His reflections result in the creation of sculptures constructed by chance and derived by rapid drawn images which will also be on display. This is the artist’s second exhibition with RSP.
